Lamb Shanks may feature prominently on the menu of many great restaurants, but they are fairly easy to make at home, especially when using a slow cooker.

You will find when using the slow cooker that the meat will be literally falling off the bone once it has finished cooking.

I have included two methods with this recipe, the first is my preferred method and involves an extra 30 minutes of prep time. The second method is perfect if you do not have time to do the prep and you basically throw everything straight into the slow cooker.

Hope you enjoy my latest slow cooker recipe.
